Behind Invisible Lines [Kuroko no Basket FanFic]

(01) Guardians Of What Is Fantasy And Life

A/N: Hello KnB lovers and fanz~ =) So this was inspired by my own original ideas for the plot, fanart, and some fics where Kuroko has a twin sister so I wanted to write my own. Which is in a category with very few fics, but meh. Hope you enjoy~

{DISCLAIMER} I do not own Kuroko no Basket. I do, however, own this plot...

~Got some awesome music to go with this too... Probably gonna dedicate a playlist of awesome music to this story~

                 (01) Guardians Of What Is Fantasy And Life

What some people don't see or understand is that there is an invisible war all around us. All apart of a hidden world that scientists dream of finding someday.

Only they won't. Because only very few are selected to enter this hidden world.

You might be wondering just what this 'hidden world' is... Not much is known about it, as it isn't something you can look up on the internet or find in history books. It's completely unknown to the mortal realm. Yes, it's a separate dimension from Earth. In this other world, what might seem impossible to the human mind and stature of the mortal realm, can become real and possible in the hidden world. It's the place where everyone's hopes, dreams, and wishes goes to. To float in the large abyss until they're made real by the people who thought of them.

It's a fascinating and strange place that is barred from the public and with limited VIP passes...

How does one get one of these very special passes? Well...

You have to die first.

Pretty harsh, huh? But that is the price to pay to be able to enter in... And for you to be able to survive there.

But then you must be asking: But if you die, don't you drift off to the after life? Well... That's a no and yes. Remember the whole only 'chosen people get through?' Well, that's where that comes in.

You see, there are two ways people truly die. Physical death and spiritual death. Everyone will eventually experience physical death, where your body on Earth dies and your soul is then released from the living dimension. Spiritual death, however, is something of a rare occurrence. It's usually when a very traumatic experience takes place in your life, and in some cases it becomes so devastating that it literally kills your spirit.

And that's how you receive one of your 'passes' into the hidden world. Because the remnants of your spirit float over to that side. Your "self" stays in the hidden world for however long it takes you to recover from the trauma you experienced in the mortal realm (and that would explain why often times people who have experienced trauma have such blank and dull eyes and aren't themselves — because they're trying to recover the self that they lost in the hidden world).

Of course, the hidden world isn't a world full of sunshine and rainbows either. If the dreams, wishes, and hopes of mankind become real there, then the opposite is true too. All of the hate, anger, and dark ambitions go there and become real, too. A lot of the time, those whose spirits appear within the hidden world, often don't make it out to reunite with their selves in the living dimension.

That's when you see people in the mortal realm go crazy and lose their minds — often leading them to be locked up, or choosing suicide in hopes of reclaiming their spirit...

But it's always futile. Only the strong can survive within the hidden world once entering, and if you're ever able to make it out... Then you've overcame your trauma, and can freely pass from the mortal realm, and to the fantasy realm. Most people try to forget about the hidden world and never enter it again, but some people often spend most of their time there. It's a nice place if you can avoid all of the bad stuff in it... It's just like Earth, in a way, just really lonely when you're the only person there.

Sometimes, if you're lucky, you'll find other people like you there. When that happens, the whole place doesn't seem too frightening.

I should know, since I spend most of my time within the hidden world. I like to help lost spirits, or Wanderers, find their way back to their rightful selves. Other times I try to fight off the darkness that tries to take over and leak out into the mortal realm.

The world is full of evil, and the only way to extinguish it is with love and good. So what's the invisible war? In the living realm, dark beings known as demons sometimes surface and cause a lot of heartache to those they latch on to. That's where all of the badness in life comes from. But with everything, there is a balance. Beings of light surface to take care of the destroyers of darkness, the angels fight against them all around us, but no one can see them.

Then there are those of whom can pass freely between the two dimensions, and help in this fight of good and evil... Passersby like us who have experienced emotional pain so much that it caused us to fight for our lives in the hidden world. Those that have succeeded in passing back over to the mortal realm, will forever have the burden of seeing these invisible battles. People of that nature are called Spectors.

So you're probably thinking that I'm a Spector, right? Well... It's a bit more than that, for me.

The Hidden World is a place of fantasies and beautiful disasters. My name is Kuroko Setsuko, and my brother and I act as the balance, the Guardians of this realm and the one we were born to.
